Linda Ronstadt - That'll Be The Day Live

[@danielschlatter7606]

The point is that she takes any song, from That'll be the day to Silver threads to Tumbling dice - not to mention Canciones de mi padre - and makes something out of it that comes from some galaxy where only angels have access . Unique woman, unique singer!

Just steps up, grabs the mic, and slays….

She was HOT!!! And a tremendous performer.

[@Davidmeek-il7ds]

Fact!

[@pilot968]

Has to be the greatest opening to a concert in history.

[@randyventresca4152]

Linda Ronstadt is the greatest, most diverse female vocalist of her generation.

[@simbacaspsun4998]

She certainly is.

[@Allen-xu2wv]

There is only one Linda

[@ricklewis5804]

Ann Wilson from Heart was amazing too.

[@Jim-t6n2t]

Of any generation I'm sure. When you consider the huge amount of different musical genres she has sang extremely well and sang/ collaborated with so many great other singers due to her powerful and beautiful voice. I seriously think there will never be someone as great as linda Ronstadt.

[@matthewr8819]

I fell in love with Linda in 1976 when I was only 10 years old. My sister called her record company so I could speak to her, and a few days later Linda called me at home. I asked her to marry me and cried when she said ''no''. After that I was her #1 fan, and she called me for years checking up on me to see if I had a girlfriend yet. True Story. I still Love her today, she never married.

[@BabsBabster]

Your childhood story is so cool….she seemed so genuine & continue to call you for years, what a wonderful lady. You have to Love her & her music!!!

[@Jim-t6n2t]

The difference between Linda Ronstadt and most other female singers ever, is that she was not just a beautiful girl flaunting flirting showing off, displaying her beauty on stage, but to the contrary, she was a fenómenal incomparable singer artist who just happen to have a delightful beauty charm, charisma. Combining all these with the fact that she sang extremely superbly in more than a dozen musical genres ,is unsurpassed by any American singer. No wonder so so so many very famous artists and band groups reached to collaborate with her. Linda Ronstadt is not only a true American Gem and a National Treasure , but an International adored Treasure as well.

[@lazarwolf7359]

Struts out, grabs the microphone and just lets go. Fabulous on point vocalist.

[@e.conboy4286]

Nothin to it. If you’re Linda Ronstadt!

[@rrmarshall3239]

Seeing her perform this tune live I swear the power of that first note makes it feel like she could blow off the roof of auditorium if she wanted to. Beauty and talent all rolled into one, there will never be another like her.

[@johnlovelace6971]

14 year's old. Fell in love. I still feel the same way! My ❤ goes out to her. And wish she could still do it today. Luvs n Hugs.

[@aarondigby5054]

Arguably the greatest voice ever, she could sang anything.

[@johnhagan9277]

Amen

[@garrettbucyk7854]

Her voice and soulful Ness is magical

[@reginaldwhite7944]

i was thinking the same thing dang

[@HoneyTone-TheSearchContinues]

Well, in her case it's a combination of talent, experience and professionalism. Experience: sing the same songs for months at a time on tour. Professionalism: expert preparation combined with knowing all the "tricks of the trade" - like getting a pitch note from one of the guitarists, which you can hear before they start, and the drummer tapping his sticks together to set the tempo. Talent: Hell, that lady could flat sing anything! Loved her since I bought her first solo album - Hand Sown, Home Grown - in a record store in Westwood in 1969 for $1.99.

[@retromaven2159]

Whoa, that first note!!!!!!!

[@Gary_Reid_Backing_Tracks]

There's only one Linda...

[@Jim-t6n2t]

Linda is the leader of the band, the captain of the ship, lead singer, she is her own backup singer, she is the chorus, all simultaneously. ("Watch her doing all these") Minute 2:32 Astonishingly very powerful voice and sings absolutely beautifully. Only linda Ronstadt.

Linda practiced singing 6 hrs a day to master her vocal cord “instrument” as she put it...10,000 hrs in by the time she was in her early 20’s...hard work!

[@janetmoran1495]

She mastered it well.

I’ll second that! She had a voice that just didn’t quit. Too bad she lost it.

Linda Ronstadt is the only female artist who can be the driving force and captain who commands the ship, be the lead singer & be her very own backup-singer at the same time. No other singer could be that good.

[@judmcc]

Great voice and a great band!

[@aarondigby5054]

The best rendition of this song that I've ever heard and Linda Ronstadt is the only person who can sing an artist's original song better than the artist can.
